Employ Moral- Sunsion on the Bol seviki. Washington, Nov. 30.-lRealizat ion of the great clanger of causing a reac tion in Russia favorable to the Central powers by intervention in the politi Cal affairs of the new democracy has caused administration offlcials here to sound a note of warning against hasty condemnation of the Bloisheviki. 'Back of -what is described as a tol erant policy in dealing with Russia apparently not only is a purpose to demonstrate faith in the ultimate sta bilization of the democracy, but a faint hope that the extremist faction, which is for the moment in control of the seat of government at Petrograd, will refrain from violating Russia's treaty pledges to the entente allies and make a separate pence. So long as there is a possibility that these over tures will fail because of the appar ent irreconcilable difference between the .Iolsheviki 'peace scheme founded on "no annexation and no indemni ties" and the German demands for compensation and 'adequate safe guards for the future," it is regard ed as bad policy to exert any pressure from the outside at this stage. To do so, it is believed, would only tend to cause resentment in Russia and to solidify the various elements around the Petrograd regime. An additional reason for maintain ing an attitude of watchfulness and reserve in Washington is found in the fact that to -meet just such a situa tion as is developing in Russia is one of the purposes of the inter-allied con ference assembled in Paris, There are intimations that suggestions have reached Washington from the French capital that it would be well to avoid adverse criticism here of the Russian tangle, leaving the commissioners in Paris to deal with it at this stage at least. It is even possible that the pursuance of the idea that by moral persuasion Russia can he preveited from going to the extreme of making a separate peace. Some of the entente powers may decide to make some sort of acknowledgement of the receipt of the Lenine-''rot zky peace and arm istice proposal. No surprjse is felt in diplomatic circles here at the speedy acceptance by Germiiny and Austria of the Ien ine proposals. It had been assumed that with no intention whatever of accepting any of the substantial dc manis of the IHolsheviki, the German and Austrian chancellories .would not miss this great opportunity to elim inate Russia as an offensive military force for the many days, weeks or even months during which th, skilled German diplomatists mist protract the negotiations for an armistice and peace. In the mean time, of course, there piny be re leased for active service against the British, French and Italians on the west fronts hundreds of thousands of German and Austrian, Turkish and Bulgarian soldliers maintained on the eastern' front. -11'I. will be for the inter-allied con "ference in Paris to devise some means of neutralizIng this German scheme, possibly by influencing the Biolsheviki element itself through an exposition of the duplicity 'and real aims of the Germans or 'by recourse to thd' elements in Russia represent ed by General Kaledines and other loaders who 'have refused to ack nowledge the control of 'the 'Ivaxi m nalists. The letter of the Lord TAns downfe 'gost a moderationi f allied war at. , which has aroused such a bitter feeling in England, In the opin ion of some of the diplomatic otihlals here, prove a powerful factor' in keep ing the Tlolsheviki Within the enitente allied irlren lby letting them preceive that their own dloetrines regarding fatcts are not lacking in support among entente statesmen. .000 ** e e S e e e e Se * OWINGS8 NEWS. * e -,Owings, ioeg. 3.-ltr..aha .Mrs,.
